It seems like the Chicago Bears are very likely going to trade their top pass rusher, Robert Quinn, particularly after recent events and reports.
Quinn, 32, skipped the team's mandatory veteran minicamp, which took place from June 14-16, and NFL insider Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network reported on June 14 that Quinn wants out of Chicago.
The 32-year-old pass-rusher set Chicago's single-season record for sacks with 18.5 in 2021. However, new GM Ryan Poles is signalling a kind of rebuild as the team is trying to fix the salary cap situation for the long-term future.
After trading Khalil Mack to the San Diego Chargers for two draft picks — a 2022 second-rounder and a 2023 sixth-rounder — it looks like Quinn, with three years remaining on his contract and a base salary of $12.8 million this season, could be next. The move would give the Bears the second-highest salary cap space in the NFL next season.
Well, B/R gridiron made a list of 5 trades that would transform the NFL and one of them included the bears trading away Robert Quinn to the Kansas City Chiefs. While it would hurt losing Quinn, I get that he would thrive in Kansas City. With such a stacked team, he would be able to concentrate on pass-rushing a lot since his team would have the lead so much. It would indeed, be a huge pickup for the Chiefs.
